THE SWINGING DOOR.

I'm looking for somebody down the street.
Some one never expect 20 meet,
Somebody tall hhd young aud fair,
Who used 10 lOiter about the stair,
And wait 20 accompany me over the stile,
And carry my books for me once in a while,
As we both passed out through the swinging door,
In those dear old college days Of yore.
He's married and happy, and so anil
wouldn't meet him for the world, not /,
For fear that one or the other might trace,
BY some chance word, or confusion Of face,
The little secret we kept so well;
The open secret which others could tell,
Which we, in our innocence, thought 10 keep best,
BY guarding il safe, each within our own breast,
lis perhaps, as well that twas never confessed,
As we both passed out through the swinging door,
In those dear old college days Of yore.
I'm looking for somebody down the street,
Some one never expect to meet;
But somehow or other love to look,
And all can see is a boy with his book.
And just at his side is my own little elf,
My girl Of sixteen, my Gertrude herself.
They've unearthed an heirloom so pretty IL seems
To their foolish young hearts with. their fanciful
dreams.
'Tis the secret which we-his father and /
Hid away in our hearts SO careful and sly,
.we both passed out through the swinging door,
In the dear old college days Of yore.

Fencing for the EnIr Sex.

There have been several attempts in st.
Louis to popularize fencing with foils, the
last being made last year at the Armory, but
1t did not succeed. Now there is another at
tempt about TO be made among the ladies' It
has become the rage in the cities Of the east,
and a lady in society has spoken of class
fere There is no more beautiful exercise,
especially for ladies' 1t is better than bowling,
which our society ladies have been at during
Lent. 1t is graceful, and makes the pupil en-
thusiastic. Your American girls do not take
enough exercise. Why, that gives a clear
skin and rounded figure, and takes away
stoop shoulders. Lawn tennis is good but
fencing with fOils is better. They do not get
SO tired, and it can DO followed in the house
Among the gentlemen here are some good

The shy Mans suferings.

AS student of humanity, l have lately
had under dissection the shy man. For there
are shy men-men who suffer agonies, and
seem utterly unable to get over this species Of
vanity. For, after all, it is vanity; it is self
consciousness, and who but vain person is
self consciousl The shy man suffers all
through his life; he cannot move without
thinking that the eyes of his neighbor are
noting his awkwardness; he cannot smile or
be pleasant to a woman without having
dreadful sinking at his heart, and the belief
that she will laugh at him afterward, and as
for making her a confession Of his love, he
simply does not dare to do it. One Of them
laid bare his soul to me, and l advised him
about telling his love, for was perfectly GER
tain that if he looked at the girl with the
same eager eyes that he gave me when only
talking of his love that she had comprehended
it, and was only waiting the opportunity to
accept it. Women are seldom afflicted with
this disease, and men have much TO be thank
full for in that they are not.-"Bab" in New

A Hotel Clerk.

suppose you think it very pleasant
for the chief clerk OF a thriving hotel to
sit all day on high stool and fan him
self, while the mercury is coduetting
with the 90s, and so it would be If that
were all chief clerk had to do, but it
isn't-not by quart pitcher full, ii isn't.
The hardest thing hotel clerk has to do
is to look pleasant every time he is spO-
ken to. The proprietor expects it, and
the public expects it. I've kink in my
neck now that got from laughing at an
old chestnut sprung on me little while
ago by a Cincinnati drummer. II |

face suppose he'd have gone to some
other hotel. But III be out of the bust

The New York Evening Post finds that
emigration from the United Kingdom is still
on the increase, 236, l04 persons having sailed
from the various ports in 1886 against only
2lOS4S in 1885. About 60 per cent. Of the
whole number were Englishmen, and about
10 per cent. more were Scotch, so that the
81, All Irish composed only about 80 per cent.
of the whole number; whereas thirty or forty
years ago Ireland contributed from 60 TO 20
per cent of all. The change in proportion ia
not due so much TO the fact that Irishmen
emigrate less than they did as to the fact that
Englishmen cmigTate more.-Public Opinion.
